- Oppose perspective distortion. Tomer T (talk) 16:41, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
- To be perfectly honest, i'm only recently getting antiquated with lightroom, and have exactly zero Photoshop experience. I feel really guilty asking you this, but do you have any experience fixing perspective distortion? If you don't want to help, I completely understand. Sea Cow (talk) 18:30, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
- Tomer T is probably talking about vertical lines leaning inward on that picture (I have no idea what else it could be). While I personally think that converging lines are normal here, especially when looking downward, many reviewers abhor that, and mistakenly call it distorsion. But it is not, rectilinear lens are supposed to render these converging lines ;) Benh (talk) 19:21, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you so much for your response. Sea Cow (talk) 19:38, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
- Sea Cow: Here's the help page in case you're using Lightroom Classic: Correct distorted perspective in photos using Upright. It's a super easy fix. --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 22:47, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
- I'm rather lost, so I'm just going to use auto, even though manual is probably better, thank you for your response. Sea Cow (talk) 23:11, 5 April 2022 (UTC)

- "Antiquated" with Lightroom? Since we don't have AutoCorrect on this, I can only imagine that's a Freudian slip of some sort ... . Daniel Case (talk) 17:21, 6 April 2022 (UTC)

- @Tomer T. I have gone into lightroom and adjusted the perspective distortion. I hope you can take another look. Sea Cow (talk) 23:14, 5 April 2022 (UTC)

- You might find Commons:Photography terms#Perspective correction helpful. You are going to get diverging verticals if you point the camera "down" rather than level (just as people on the ground get converging verticals if they point their camera "up" to get the top of a church spire in the frame). But of course if you fly your drone high and point it level, you may get 50% sky. The correction that Lightroom has applied here doesn't fully "fix" the verticals, but doing so is likely to bring its own problems, as one ends up with the opposite problems of the viewpoint definitely being "downwards" and the proportions of buildings looking odd. As Benh says, some people looking at such images will find the effect of sloping verticals to be odd, and a compromise partial correction may help. There may be some advise on the web wrt drone photography about finding the balance between horizontal and downwards shots. -- Colin (talk) 11:17, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
- Support I quite like it. And there's nothing technically wrong with the diverging verticals. Cmao20 (talk) 16:05, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
- Support Any drone shot that does not include sky is so distorted that it needs no perspective correction. At some point the line between an upright view and a bird's eye view is blurred and it no longer makes sense to force everything to look like an upright view. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 03:55, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
- Support per Cmao20 and King of Hearts. --Aristeas (talk) 13:52, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
- Comment I think that a lot of people have agreed, and somewhat built consensus that trying to fix the vertical distortion can bring a lot of issues, and that no matter what, a birds eye view is going to have some distortion. I'm going to revert the upload with the lightroom distortion edits back to the original. Sea Cow (talk) 15:28, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
- Support per King. I think some day we're going to get to the point where drones can take pictures at a quality level equivalent to the current generation of DSLRs. And then we can quibble about the divergent verticals in this picture, or replace it with one where those can be and are corrected. But until then ... well, the straight verticals aren't really the subject of this image, are they? Daniel Case (talk) 18:45, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
